Following report examines the issues and their outcomes on refugee crisis of Korean peninsula and North East Asia. Researches are conveying that significant number of people are striving to leave the borders of North Korea (index.go.kr 2016), bringing the issues of human security and their accessibilities to proper resettlement procedures. Providing adequate support and protection for the refugees require further attention as generally they are confronting more than just poor living conditions. As their states of despair interferes with traditional approach in human security of ‘Freedom from fear’ and ‘Freedom of want’ stated by human development report in 1994 (UNDP 1994), the backgrounds of the situation require to be assessed with …show more content…
Even in consistent efforts of nations and NGOs to provide aids for devastating poverty, supreme leader Kim Jung Eun and their followers prioritize military supremacy and developing nuclear warheads, distracting appropriate provisions of materials for those who are in desperate needs. 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Total aids granted (Million USD) 103.06 56.70 61.32 24.49 89.37 Table 1.1) Estimated total humanitarian funding per Donor to DPRK (UNOCHA 2016) Figure 1.2) Surveys of refugees on recognizing aids and support within DPRK (Daily NK 2011) Table 1.1 (Estimated total humanitarian funding per donor to DPRK) at the top indicates the amount of previously granted humanitarian funding to DPRK from the year 2007 to 2011 (UNOCHA 2016), while figure 1.2 (Surveys of refugees on recognizing aids and support within DPRK) identifies the answers given on survey of experiencing any support for North Korean refugees in 2011 (Daily NK 2011). As seen on table 1.1, there had been various amounts of aids provided from the outside to support poverty in DPRK. However the answers featured in figure 1.2 furtherly notes that the majority had not received/experienced the support, mostly finding them at the military or even upper class people. This emphasizes the issues of North Korean authorities not
Saul’s article recognizes that the Syrian refugee crisis exists amidst citizen sponsorship, Aboriginal judgement, and disorder within EU countries’ immigrant policies. According to Saul, democracy in Canadian politics grants citizenship to immigrants without any obstacles. Canada’s immigration policies are transparent because they are balanced with civic participation. Saul thinks that multiculturalism is a forceful catalyst towards establishing equality and integrity for the refugees. In the first point, Saul does not agree that refugees should be privately sponsored and assisted by the government. In the second point, Saul indicates that Canada’s national identity is the product of the encounter between the Aboriginals and European settlers, which has resulted in citizenship. By entering the Inuit circle, immigrants can establish themselves as a strong unit not by having roots outside Canada, but by living with Canadian intellect. The immigrants should mold to nature because this is the way the Aboriginals have defined their understandings of life. As Sifton has noted, “the … government … made presentations … to potential immigrants, presenting beautiful images of the Rocky Mountains and thriving settled farmland” (475). In the last point, Saul comments on the European prejudices that are
Through out the world and over the centuries, societies have welcomed frightened, weary strangers, the victims of persecution and violence. This humanitarian tradition of offering sanctuary is often now played on the television screens across the globe as war and large-scale persecution produce millions of refugees and internally displaced persons. At the start of 21st century, protecting refugees means maintaining solidarity with the worlds most threatened, while finding answers tot eh challenges confronting the international system that was created to do just that.
A refugee is a person who was forced to leave their country. Whether it be from warfare or natural disaster, their homes are no longer safe to live in, so they need to relocate elsewhere. Once someone sets foot on the journey of becoming a refugee, they become vulnerable and dependent with no sense of what the future will bring. In an attempt to accommodate them, first world countries with the resources necessary to assist these refugees, are struggling to determine whether or not they should step-in and help. Some argue that taking them in could come with excessive consequences, while others believe they could be assets. Although there may be a few consequences, they are outweighed by the benefits and undeniable severity of the situation.
In this paper I will discuss about the Syrian refugees Crisis, the characteristics of the of Syrian refuges crisis, how similar or different it the Syrian refugee crisis is from other refugee crisis, how Syrian refugee crisis affects individuals, families, and communities, what relevant research exists on the Syrian refugee crisis, and what key strategies have been known to be useful in this crisis, how one promote resilience in this crisis and how the social workers personal value affect him/her in addressing this crisis.
Also the lack of jobs has led to the majority of the people to be below the poverty line. And the ones with jobs do not get paid much or at all due to government corruption. For example, “Men are forced to work long hours for the government, often without pay, and those that don’t show up for work risk imprisonment”. Which has led to men working worthless jobs and women becoming the breadwinners of the families but still not having the same respect as men. The North Korean government is forcing these men to work for free while their families have no food to eat. Brainwashing and propaganda are also major aspects of the regime to keep the people scared of the world outside North Korea, namely the United States, Japan and South Korea. As shown, “Ak (evil) may be the single most commonly used word to describe Americans. The derogatory term nom, similar to calling someone a bastard, is inevitably attached to the end of any word referring to Americans”. Children from a young age are taught to refer to Americans in such manner to install fear in them to always distrust Americans and their aid. Americans are the worst of the worst type of people, according to the Kim regime, because they prevented the reunification of the two Koreas. Followed closely behind by the Japanese, since there is still resentment from the Japanese colonial rule. South Korea is not as
North Koreas government uses its power to control information and restrict independent thought and freedom. The BBC News mentions, “North Koreas economic hardships or famines are not reported to the domestic audience” (North Korea’s Tightly Controlled Media). This shows how the government in North Korea uses their power to keep the inhabitants of the country blind to issues that would cause worry amongst them. The BBC News author later on mentions that rather than inform its citizens on real life issues occurring, they are informed of technological advances developed by their leaders’ revolutionary thinking. By doing this the North Korean government keeps the people blind and ignorant to complicated
The government relies heavily on humanitarian assistance from both the United States and China in the many times of famine that have struck the nation throughout the years, in spite of the fact that the United States is portrayed as ruthless enemies of the state by the “supreme leader”. The actions of Kim Jong-Un have created nationwide disapproval from the people including the army as he is unable to feed them. Times have been exceeding rough throughout the years that there have been many reported cases of cannibalism and high infant mortality rates. It is the duty of the government to provide adequate food to its people, yet it has failed. The government relies on foreign aid from its greatest foe to feed its people.

Agreed, it's only the ability to read and write. Thus, other factors don't correlate with, such as the educational system in a country. This is because you don't have to be educated in a school setting to learn how to read and write, let alone being self-educated.
Not only is this a devastating event in itself with thousands affected, it also brings the mistreatment to light. Over the past few years, North Korea has poured millions into research for nuclear weaponry. This drive for power has left his people neglected with a terrible Quality of Life. Not only do they suffer from day-to-day issues such as starvation and censorship, but the floods have meant that foreign aid is needed more than ever.
International relief agencies and other recent visitors to North Korea such as US Representative Tony Hall report increasingly widespread and obvious pre-famine indicators: families eating grass, weed and bark, orphans whose growth has been stunted by hunger and diarrhea, and children going bald for lack of nutrition. Food supplies have already stopped arriving at many nurseries and kindergartens, where many small children and babies are dying of malnutrition. The most severe threat of mass starvation is believed to exist in the northern and northeastern sections of the country, where relief workers have been granted access in March. Officials from the UN World Program (WFT) have just dispatched an assessment team to survey these areas and expect to release an assessment team to survey these areas and expect to release a report on condition there in the coming week (2).
Back in Washington, President Clinton’s administration concluded that North Korea was reviving their nuclear missile program and demanded access to the suspected facilities being built. Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, granted access to multiple locations to U.S. officials for inspection of facilities in exchange for financial aid and food (Hathaway & Tama 724). North Korea’s negotiation for aid from the U.S. does not come as a surprise for the simple fact that citizens living under the supreme leadership of Kim Jong-un live in absolute poverty. Although the state-run government experiences hardship by trying to provide an adequate supply of food for citizens; the government spends a huge sum of money to maintain a large military force.
Four million people have died of starvation in North Korea since 1995. They do not have enough food to give to everybody in the country but they do have large mineral resources which they can use for making billions in trade. In the U.S. we can give North Korea food and it could benefit us. It could benefit us because if we start talking to them we could extract an agreement that could be good. Food is very important for human rights. “North Korea Orchestrates Famine as a Tool of Repression”
Thanks to the UN north korea countries can have safe abortion. But is that the best way to approach the abortion issue. Korea problems with human rights and inhuman ways of abortion, in this assessment we are going to discus it and full blood Korean children. Under the rule of Kim Jong, North Korea remains among the most harshly repressive countries in the world. All basic freedoms have been severely restricted under Kim family's political dynasty. A 2014 UN commission of inquiry found in North Korea: extermination, murder, torture, imprisonment rape, forced abortion and other sexual violence. During the UN commission of inquiry into human rights abuse by the North Korea regime, a young women was forced to eat frogs and insects to survive
North Korea appears on the international stage as a country existing beyond the world we all know. It isolates its citizens from the rest of international community and does not obey any rules determined by international law, but requires respect and recognition. Moreover, North Korea is one of the countries that remains aggressive towards its neighbors and applies various terrorist techniques, i.e. illegal contraband, political terror and mass abductions of other countries’ citizens in its foreign policy. The reasons for which the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) behaves so unpredictably and irrationally are diversified. First of all, the DPRK as a country is managed very irrationally – regimes of Kim Il-sung and
A refugee is defined as an individual who has been forced to leave their country due to political or religious reasons, or due to threat of war or violence. There were 19.5 million refugees worldwide at the end of 2014, 14.4 million under the mandate of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), around 2.9 million more than in 2013. The other 5.1 million Palestinian refugees are registered with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). With the displacement of so many people, it is difficult to find countries willing to accept all the refugees. There are over 125 different countries that currently host refugees, and with this commitment comes the responsibility of ensuring these refugees have access to
